Leaving the Chengqian Palace, Bai Ling followed the palace people who led the way, and walked towards the Xihua Gate closest to it step by step.

Outside the Xihua Gate, the soft sedan chair has been prepared, which will send her back to her home in the alley.

From Chengqian Palace to Xihua Gate, the road that can be completed in a quarter of an hour on weekdays, Bai Ling walked for about an hour. The palace people who led the way didn't dare to urge, and let her walk slowly.

Recalling Emperor Jianxi's words and deeds today, Bai Ling only felt that the stone road under his feet was becoming more and more bumpy, and every step was like walking on the tip of a knife.

When he got home, he just knocked on the door, but Bai Ling found that the door was not locked, and opened it with a push.

There was no one in the yard, and there was a kettle on the simple stove next to the well, and the fire had just been extinguished, and a fan was thrown next to it.

She shouted as she walked inside, "Brother, Dad? ”

"It's Bai Ling, it must be Bai Ling is back......" Bai Yi's voice came from the back room, and Bai Ling sped up his pace and went to the house.

Bai Shijun was lying on the wooden bed, his lips were white, his face was haggard, a white towel was put on his head, and he kept reading something with a long sigh in his mouth, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

There was half a bowl of hot water left at the head of the bed, and Bai Yi moved a small Mazha to sit next to his father's bed.

As soon as he saw Bai Ling, Bai Shijun tried to sit up, raised his hand and stretched out his hand in the direction of Bai Ling, Bai Ling quickly sat down next to his father, and then Bai Shijun's hand, "...... What's going on? ”

"The will of the palace has arrived." Bai Yi glanced at Bai Shijun who was lying on the bed helplessly, and said in a low voice, "As soon as I heard that you were going to enter the palace, my father fainted." ”

Bai Ling was a little surprised, but then he understood.

Bai Shijun held his daughter's hand in tears and cried.

Bai Ling didn't persuade him, but gently patted his father's back and let him shed tears there.

From low crying to sobbing, Bai Shijun's eyes were a little swollen, and then he raised his head and whimpered, "What is the harem...... Others don't know, but I, I, a doctor, can I still not know? You can't...... You can't go to a harem kind of place, you can't ......."

Bai Ling nodded, didn't speak, picked up the water on the table, and handed it to his father.

After a long time, seeing that Bai Shijun's mood had calmed down slightly, Bai Yi looked at Bai Ling, "What the hell is going on, why did the emperor suddenly seal the female official of your Chengqian Palace?" ”

Only then did Bai Ling tell all the things that happened after she left the Zhonghe Palace.

She said very carefully, from the conversation between Gonggong Qiu and Emperor Jianxi on the stone corridor, to her requirements on the premise of Emperor Jianxi, and the time limit given by the emperor...... Hearing this, the father and son were shocked.

“…… But the emperor's rules are clear," Bai Ling looked at his father again and quipped, "After I enter the palace, the family's silver will be in Bai Yi's care, and he is not as kind as me." ”

Bai Shijun couldn't laugh, he sighed deeply, reluctantly sat up from the bed, took off the white towel on his head, and said in a low voice, "The golden bottle is drunk together, and the white blades are not forgiving...... The current politeness is all fake, and when it really comes to that point, the emperor can do what he says. ”

Bai Ling: "But for now, there is only one way to go." ”

Bai Shijun was puzzled, "Since you already know that the concubine's illness is a trip to troubled waters, why do you have to ...... Wade in? ”

Boling: "Have you forgotten?" Yesterday, Bai Yi and I entered the palace in the name of 'there is a cure'. This matter, those people in the hospital can see it clearly. Yesterday, the emperor read the prescription and saw that I didn't prescribe the medicine, so he thought I just wanted to rely on a little trick to get by, and it just so happened that this morning the concubine kindly interceded for me. In this way, he wants to make a mistake and let me go to my mother's side to accompany me-"

Bai Shijun almost didn't get angry, "You, you didn't prescribe medicine?" And your prescription for that long time—"

"It doesn't matter, listen to me first." Bai Ling pressed Bai Shijun's hand, "If I am recruited into the palace as an ordinary palace person, then the power of life and death between me and Bai Yi will depend on my mother's likes and dislikes for me; Today, she has good thoughts in her heart, and she will spare me a life, but what if we get along with each other? Didn't my brother and I lose our protection in an instant, and we were charged with bullying the king? ”

Bai Shijun choked for a moment, and his eyes became clear.

Bai Ling continued, "What's more, now that there are officials in the previous dynasty who participated in the noble concubine's immorality, and Wang Jihang and Zhang Yousheng are jurors, it is unknown how much storm they can take this opportunity to set off." ”

Bai Ling said a lot in one breath, and finally sighed.

"Now you understand? Healing the concubine is our only hole card, and nothing can save us anymore but it. If you don't cure it, you will have a chance to live, and if you don't cure it, there will be no endless road, and we may not be able to put it to death and live later. ”

If you think about it, this is indeed the truth.

Bai Shijun's sad face faded slightly, and suddenly he remembered something, and his eyebrows became solemn again, "That's right...... Where did you hear about Wang Jihang and Zhang Yousheng? ”

Bai Ling smiled, "This...... You don't have to worry about it, do you? ”

Bai Shijun was still worried, "Is it that Wei Shishi told you?" ”

Bai Ling had no choice but to answer, "Yes, I went out with Fourteen to buy wine last night, and I specially asked him about these things on the way, just in case, and I really used it today." ”

Bai Shijun's voice was very low, "I think in front of the palace today, the emperor can tell Bai Yi's deeds last night so clearly, will it be ......?"

Bai Ling shook his head, "No. ”

"What if?"

"There is no such thing as a case. Last night, the group of brocade guards surrounded the house, even if the large army retreated, it was a routine operation for them to secretly leave one or two people to garrison until dawn, and this kind of thing would not hurt our lives, and Fourteen would not be able to control it. ”

Bai Shijun sighed again, "I know you don't like to hear it, but Dad still has to say more." You are now favored by the Queen Mother, and there are people around you to protect you, which is naturally a good thing, but think about it, how long will the Queen Mother live this year, and how old are those imperial doctors this year? No matter how hard the backer is, there will be a time when it will fall, you are now torn your face with those of them, and when the Queen Mother is a hundred years old, how will they counterattack at that time, have you thought about it? ”

Bai Ling's eyes drooped slightly, "Dad, if it weren't for this consideration, I wouldn't have watched you being ostracized in Tai Hospital for three or four years." ”

Bai Shijun was stunned.

Bai Ling raised his eyes, his voice was still gentle, "Since Wang Ji sat in the position of chief imperial doctor, don't you think our family's life is getting more and more sad day by day?" If this continues, we are afraid that we will not even be able to wait for their counterattack, and we will already die in their dark arrows. ”

Bai Shijun instinctively shook his head, "If you don't fight or grab for your father, even if he holds a grudge, what can he hate me?" ”

"If you're like them, what are they afraid of?" Bai Yi couldn't listen to it anymore, "It's because you don't fight or grab that he has to hate you." ”

Bai Shijun still shook his head, "There are so many people in the hospital, how can they target me alone?" There are always some small misunderstandings on weekdays, and it's ...... to endure them."

"Without you, they are at home in their own rules, but as long as you are, you are a mirror of their stains. You think you're just a tree in the jungle, but you're actually a grain of sand in someone's eyes. They won't stop until they destroy you. Bai Ling blinked, "It's that simple, Dad." ”
